Silly me, been subscribed to the 80's page waiting for the 90's one and wondered why no one was posting
As i said in the 80's thread i knew my films even before i read anything and it's not hard to guess my first 3 -
1990
Who hasn't watched this on more than one occasion? This was the first 18 movie i seen at the Pictures. Me and my school mate, both well under 18, got in for a half to this film (ahh the good ol days on non PC and protecting children) and we were blown away with it.
Yeah we had seen violence before but not on the big screen, it just resonated with us and we talked about it for weeks!
Most of it's been covered by previous reviewers and i agree with it all. For me
the best gangster movie of all time.
1991
Ironically this was on the other week on CH5 and i still stayed up till 1.30am to watch it! What's not to love about Point Break? Reeves first 'big' film, Swayze shaking off his Ghost image and Anthony Kiedis as a Surf Nazi!!
Yeah it's a little cheesy at points but the action more than makes up for it. The surf scenes are excellent as are the Sky diving ones. Jonny chasing Bodhi after the failed bank heist is a great, if not the greatest, on foot chase scene which ends up with that infamous scene that Pegg and Frost chose to add into Hot Fuzz.
The finale with Bodhi riding the big wave a Bells beach during the 50 year storm and the Australian cop saying 'we'll get him when he comes out' and Utah saying ' he ain't coming back' is a poignant moment, he practiced what he preached and went out as he wanted too.
Love this movie.
1992
Welcome to the world, Quentin Tarintino. I'd never seen a movie like this, ever. The way it jumped around, the way it laid each characters story out and the way it introduced Music as much of the story as the actual film (something that becomes his trademark).
I mean can you actually listen to Little Green Bag without thinking of the above? Or Stuck in the middle with you without this -
Excellent script, fantastic dialogue and a great cast. For me i always loved Mr Pink (Steve Buscemi). Yeah Madsen,Keitel and Roth were the bigger names but i just loved his way especially at the beginning as
@lucasisking mentioned with him being a tight ass over a tip
